But that's just what I said:

If  you  have  "Validate=  Yes",  confirmation  is  required  unless  the
operating  system guarantees  authenticity, which  is not  the case  with
e-mail. If  you want  confirmation on subscriptions  but not  on anything
else, you want "Subscription= Open,Confirm" and "Validate= No".
